UltraSPARC-II ModuleX-Option
This book contains procedures for installing an UltraSPARC-II module
x-option in a SunUltra2 system.

1.1 System SoftwareRequirements
1.1.1 Solaris
Ultra 2 systems equipped with UltraSPARC-II module(s) require using
Solaris 2.5.1 or later system software releases.
1.1.2 Open Boot PROM
UltraSPARC-II systems require OpenBootPROM version 3.7 (or later).
1.2 System HardwareRequirements
Ultra 2 systems operated in multiprocessor mode must use processor modules
of the same clock frequency.
1.2.1 Determining Clock Frequency
To determine the clock frequency of the processor module(s) already installed
in your system:
♦ Query your system by typing:
% prtconf -vp | grep banner-name
banner-name: ‘Sun Ultra 2 UPA/SBus (2 X UltraSPARC 168Hz)’
The system responds with the quantity (for example, 2 X) and speed (168
MHz) of the UltraSPARC module(s) installed.
1.3 SCD Compliance
Sun Ultra 2 systems have been independently tested and verified to comply
with revision 2.1 of the SPARC Compliance Definition (SCD) developed by
SPARC International, Inc. These systems are binary compatible with all other
systems and software that conform to SCD version 2.1.
1-2 Sun Ultra 2 UltraSPARC-II Module X-Option—March1997
1.4 UltraSPARC-II Module X-Option Kit
Each UltraSPARC-II module x-option kit contains:
• This book
• UltraSPARC-II module
• Antistatic wrist strap
1.5 Flash PROM Update Utility
If you do not have OpenBoot PROM version 3.7 (or later) installed in your
system and do not have the flash PROM update utility software containing
version 3.7 (or later), you must obtain the software from SunServiceor
another authorized service provider.
1.6 Using This Book
This book shows you how to install and test UltraSPARC-II modules in Ultra 2
systems. The procedures are arranged in a sequence of four chapters. Read
and perform the procedures in the remainder of this book in sequence, starting
with Chapter 2, “Opening the System Unit,” and ending with
Chapter 6.

OpeningtheSystemUnit
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Removing Power from the System
• Removing the System Unit Cover
• Attaching the Wrist Strap
2.1 Removing Power from the System
Before turning off system power, shut down the operating system to avoid loss
of data.
1. If your system is not a standalone, notify users that the system is going
down.
Refer to the Solaris Handbook for the procedure.
2. Back up the system files and data.
Refer to the Solaris Handbook for the procedure.
3. Shut down the system.
4. Turn the power off to the monitor and all peripherals connected to the
system.

Caution – When the Power On/Standby switch is pressed and the AC power
cord remains connected to a power outlet, hazardous AC voltage is still present
in the power supply primary.
6. Detach all cords and cables connected to the system unit except for the AC
power cord.
The AC power cord provides the grounding path for safely discharging
static electricity. Note where each cord and cable attaches to the system
unit.

UpdatingtheFlashPROM
♦ Use the flash PROM update CD-ROM and the accompanying
programming guide to update your system flash PROM to OpenBoot
PROM version 3.7 (or later).
Note – If you do not have OpenBoot PROM version 3.7 (or later) installed in
your system and do not have the flash PROM update utility software
containing version 3.7 (or later), you must obtain the software from SunService
or another authorized service provider.
